I, Kousaka Kyousuke, the Knight of the Helping Table

Page 32

“Yeah, didn’t you say before that you have a sister? Bring her back and let her have a taste.”

Kyosuke was a little dissatisfied with the fact that the group had divided up all the cookies. After all, he had helped a lot. He pointed at himself and said, “Hey, what about me? I don’t get any share at all?”

Yukino pointed at the cookies that Kyosuke had instructed Yui to make and said, “Kousaka, just eat that one. I don’t want to take back those cookies that are so sweet that they’ll make your teeth fall out.”

Hey, isn’t that too much? I didn’t put too much sugar in it. Kyosuke didn’t know that Yukino was saying that his teaching method was too extraordinary, but he still complained in his heart.

“Indeed, you can take this back, Xiaojing. You said I made it, but it was Xiaojing who did all the work, right? It would be a bit awkward to give this to Yukino-chan and the Dunjia family.”

Kyosuke felt strange when he saw Yui blushing and playing with her fingers again. Do you really hate that cookie so much?

After the meeting to divide the spoils, everyone worked together to clean up the home economics classroom (the first portion of “Black Merlin” and charcoal were thrown directly into the trash can).

At the door of the last home economics classroom, Yui bowed to the three members of the service club to express her gratitude.

“Thank you very much, everyone. I will come to the Service Club to help in the future. That’s all, bye~”

“Really? Is she planning to come again?” Looking at Yui jumping away, Hachiman was surprised that she still wanted to come again. Generally speaking, wouldn’t people stay away from such weird clubs?

“Isn’t this great? Just like Hiratsuka-sensei said, the Service Club must have members if it is to exist. If she can stay, then the fourth member will be guaranteed. Then all we have to do is find a fifth person who can be tricked into joining.” Kyosuke didn’t care. According to the plot anyway, Tuanzi would eventually join the Service Club.

“Well, if I find the sixth one, I will kick you out. You’d better be prepared, Kousaka.” Yukino was holding a small bag of snacks containing snacks that Yui gave her. She looked at Kyosuke and said, “You win this time, but I will never admit defeat next time.” After Yukino finished speaking, she ignored the two boys and left independently.

“Win or lose, do we have any competition?” Kyosuke was a little surprised by Yukino’s behavior.

“Well, you left early. Then Hiratsuka-sensei suggested that we have a competition to see who can solve the most requests.”

“Isn’t that between you and Yukinoshita? It has nothing to do with me. Well, forget it. It would be nice to take this opportunity to teach that ignorant little girl a lesson.”

How big of a grudge do you two have against each other? Looking at the excited Kyosuke, Hachiman said that he didn’t want to get involved in such trouble. Hachiman pinched his chin and thought of something: “Oh, right. Kyosuke, you guy, when did you become a real person? You traitor!”

“What is current charge?”

Hachiman showed great envy and jealousy towards Kyosuke’s appearance just now. He pointed at Kyosuke and said, “Stop pretending. The way you taught Yuigahama how to make cookies just now would make anyone think you were a real show-off!”

“Those are just some little tricks I learned while working part-time.” Kyosuke didn’t care about Hachiman’s rebuke at all and walked straight to the school gate.

“Is there any part-time job shop that will teach you something like this? I want to work part-time, too.”

Kyousuke waved his hands and said, “It’s impossible, Hachiman, you absolutely can’t do that.”

“Why is it impossible?”

“because……”

···

“So, is this what you want?” Shizuka Hiratsuka stood in front of the window in the corridor of the teaching building, watching Hachiman and Kyosuke walking out of the school gate playing and fighting, and asked the person on the other end of the phone.

“What can I say? My silly sister likes to dwell on trivial matters. No matter what my mother and I say, she won’t listen. Let’s let someone else persuade her.” Yang Nai’s voice came from the receiver.

“Why is it Takasaka?” Xiaojing was most puzzled by this matter. It would have been fine if the other party knew that there was a strange boy in her club, but he also insisted on binding this boy and her sister to the same club. You know, from the previous communication between the two in front of her, the conflict between the two was obviously very deep. This sister-con should not be unaware of this.

“This is some private matter in our family.”

“Is it related to your father’s affairs?” From what Xiaojing knew so far, this was the only major event that happened in the Yukinoshita family recently.

Yang No was a little surprised that Xiao Jing knew that his father had passed away: “Hey, you already knew? It is somewhat related, but it involves our family’s secret, so it is really inconvenient to disclose. Xiao Jing, you just need to make sure that Kyosuke and Yukino can stay in the same club.”

“What if two people fight in the club?” Xiao Jing leaned her head against the phone and took out a cigarette from her pocket with both hands and lit it.

“Don’t worry, my sister is not that bad.” Yang Nai didn’t care about this matter at all.

Xiao Jing exhaled a puff of smoke and said, “Really? I heard that Kyosuke slapped your sister before. You didn’t know about this?”

“It doesn’t matter. Kyousuke doesn’t have the courage to do it now anyway. I’ve asked my mother to warn him. That’s it, bye.”

“Hello!” Xiao Jing originally wanted to ask the other party why he brought up Yukino’s mother, but the other party just hung up the phone.

“Tsk, the younger sister is like this, and the older sister is like this too. This family is so willful.” Xiaojing kicked the wall angrily to express her dissatisfaction.

Yang Noi on the other end of the phone sighed after hanging up: “That was a close call, I almost let it slip.” She looked up at the man in front of her and asked, “Is this all right, Mr. Merlin?”

“Hi, thank you very much, Miss Yukinoshita.” Merlin said with a smile as he sat opposite Yono.

“So about the cooperation mentioned earlier.”

“Don’t worry, Yukinoshita Company will successfully win the bid this time. However, the bidding process still needs to be followed. I hope you can understand this.” Merlin nodded and agreed to the other party’s request.

Yang Nai bowed to the other party excitedly and said, “Thank you very much, Mr. Merlin.”

Meilin ignored Yang Nai’s thanks. He stroked the rim of the cup of black tea in front of him and asked, “I have a question. Don’t you care about your sister? Why did you agree to my request?”

Yang No nodded her head and said, “Because I also believe in Kyousuke-kun. After all, he is a man who can handle a woman like my mother. I believe he will help us take good care of Yukino, but those two awkward guys still need a little external pressure to ensure they can stay together.”

“Really? The trust of family is truly wonderful.” Merlin sighed as he finished his tea.

After finishing his tea, Merlin stood up and prepared to leave: “That’s it for now, I have to go back to the store. Oh, by the way. Kyousuke has a class tonight, do you want to go and check it out?”

“No, my mother needs my care now, I’m going home first.” After saying that, Yang Nai left the table before Merlin, ran to the counter to pay the bill, then waved to Merlin and walked out of the coffee shop.

Watching Yang Nou leaving, Merlin sighed with regret: “What a pity! I wanted to add one more person to the Shura Field. It wouldn’t be very interesting with only two people.”

Chapter 10 Merlin: The actors are in place, the show is about to begin, please give us a thunderous applause

Night is the end of a student’s day, and most students go to bed after finishing their homework. Of course, both hardworking students and lazy students will work hard until late at night, but the former are for studying, while the latter are for playing games, reading comics, and watching new shows.

But for adults, night is the beginning of life. Especially for Japan, a country with extremely high workplace pressure, night can be said to be a good time for professionals to get rid of their busy work and indulge in wine and forget their worries.

Whether it is an ordinary “izakaya” loved by the working class, a rock bar favored by young people, or a high-end club or nightclub frequented by the upper class, different interesting stories will be performed every night.

Tokyo is especially bustling with people at night, with luxury cars and BMWs. Ginza, Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, Shibuya and other major nightlife districts are still brightly lit even in the early hours of the next morning, making people linger.

For Kyosuke Kousaka, the end of school in the evening only means the end of his role-playing as a student. The arrival of night is his time to shine as a rookie host at the Camelot bar.

However…….

“So that’s what I’m saying, Kousaka. The Dean of Discipline is overdoing it.”

Kyosuke rubbed his head and helplessly watched Yokoshima Naruko drink her fifth beer of the day. Although he was very happy that the other party came to pay the previous beer money owed, he thought, would this guy owe a lot of new debts again?

“Teacher Yokoshima, you’ve been drinking long enough today. This restaurant is not an izakaya, and you’ve been drinking here for an hour. Don’t you feel uncomfortable?” Kyosuke noticed that the eyes of the guests around him were all glancing at his and Yokoshima’s seats. It was obvious that these senior white-collar workers were quite curious about this strange animal who only drank low-grade beer when consuming at Camelot.

“Kyosuke is so stingy. Didn’t I pay back all the money?” Yokoshima lay on the table and looked at Kyosuke with dissatisfaction.

Kyosuke could only maintain a polite smile to Yokoshima who was playing tricks on him and said, “Then you will pay for your drinks today, right?”

Yokoshima patted his chest confidently and said, “Of course. After all, I just got paid this week, so I still have plenty of money on hand.”

So you think of my place as a pub where you can buy on credit when you have no money at the end of the month? Kyosuke probably already knew what the other party was planning. This crazy female teacher would always squander all her money before the end of the month before the salary was paid. For her, who loves alcohol, not being able to drink is as deadly as not being able to have sex with a boy. So for her, accidentally meeting me working in a bar was like a blessing after a long drought.

What’s more important is that there are a lot of handsome single men in the store. If you’re lucky enough to catch one, you can just give yourself up.

“Okay, you can come over and buy on credit when you don’t have money at the end of the month.”

Kyosuke didn’t really like Yokoshima’s guests. Not only did they take a long time to serve, but they also ordered the cheapest drinks. Kyosuke’s commission for serving Yokoshima was not as high as if he had mixed a non-alcoholic cocktail for other guests.

However, Kyosuke was more or less tolerant of his acquaintance, especially since he was a good teacher except for drinking and liking to drag boys into the bathroom (which was always discovered and stopped by Jing). He also helped Eriri and Moerha a lot in the make-up exam last semester, so if it was just a temporary credit, Kyosuke could tolerate it.

“Really!” Yokoshima’s eyes lit up instantly.

“However, it can only be the last week of a month, and the frequency cannot exceed 5 times.” Kyosuke stated the additional conditions.

After hearing this, Yokoshima collapsed again. She scratched the table with her fingers: “Mo, Kyosuke is really something. Let me come a few more times. Isn’t it good enough for me to take care of your business?”

“Everyone in the store has always taken good care of me, and I don’t want to make things difficult for them. Do you know how much trouble your previous credit purchases caused the store?”

“How about this. I’ll show you the adult world, and I’ll come here more often every month.”

Kyousuke completely ignored Yokoshima’s self-proclaimed charming look and said, “That’s totally not necessary, thank you.”

“Tsk~ I forgot that you, Kyosuke, have already eaten meat and you’re not interested in this at all. As expected, I’d better trick another man in the store. That Bedivere’s child seems to be still the original one. Do you want to try it?” Yokoshima snapped his fingers with some regret.

Kyosuke knew very well that someone as battle-hardened as Yokoshima would definitely know that she had long since left her youth, but he still felt a little angry when he saw her say that.

Kyosuke narrowed his eyes and showed a “kind” smile: “Teacher Yokoshima, if you really have this idea, I will really kick you out~ and I will never let you in again~”

“I understand. I won’t do anything rash in the store.” Looking at Kyosuke’s gloomy face, Yokoshima could only retreat.

In the end, in order to express his dissatisfaction with Kyosuke’s interference in his free love, Yokoshima deliberately drank one more glass of beer before leaving.

After seeing Yokoshima off, Kyosuke sat at the bar and planned to take a rest. He always felt that entertaining Yokoshima was much more tiring than entertaining other guests.

“You’ve worked so hard, Kyousuke-chan☆~” Merlin smiled as usual. He mixed a cocktail and handed it to Kyousuke, “This is a reward for your hard work☆~”

Kyosuke didn’t move. Ever since what happened between Fumino and Maeve, he swore that he would never touch any liquid produced by Merlin again, especially the cocktails he mixed.

“Don’t say that. I definitely didn’t put anything weird in it. It’s just to refresh you☆~” Merlin shook his finger to explain to Kyosuke that he had no ill intentions at all.

Kyosuke chuckled: “Are you sure that the one that’s awake is the head above me and not the one below me? Since the store manager went abroad for something, you’ve really become more and more outrageous.”

Merlin covered his chest pretending to be sad when he heard Kyosuke’s words. He leaned on the table and looked at Kyosuke with tears in his eyes: “Kyosuke-chan really makes me, Merlin brother, so sad. This time, I’m really just giving you a drink to wake up your brain. It’s completely different from the drinks I gave you before to replenish your energy☆~”

After hearing this, Kyosuke hit Merlin’s head hard with his fist: “So you admit that you drugged me before!”

“Hello, Kyosuke, there’s a guest.” After hearing the front desk clerk calling him, Kyosuke ignored Merlin who was sticking out his tongue and saying “Oops, DA☆ZE is exposed” and turned to walk towards the front desk.

“By the way, Kyousuke-chan. You must be careful today. Don’t forget who she is. Otherwise you will be castrated☆~”

“What?” Kyosuke found that Merlin seemed to have said something but the noisy environment in the store made him unable to hear clearly. However, Merlin did not repeat what he said but smiled and waved at him.

Chapter 11 Xiaoyu: My philandering husband, take this polygamous castration punch from me!

For Japan, a country with a highly developed ACG culture, it is quite common for girls to wear strange clothes and cosplay as various characters on the street. However, such girls usually only appear in places like comic exhibitions or Akihabara, and most of them go out during the day.

But the girl in front of me who looked to be 17 or 18 years old was quite different. If she was wearing a blue tube-top, armpit-exposing, ultra-short miko costume, it could be said that she was a miko herself, but the brown animal ears and tail exposed the fact that she was a cosplay enthusiast. And although she looked like a beautiful young girl of 17 or 18 years old, she gave people a gentle, virtuous, and superior feeling, which was very inconsistent with her age but did not create any sense of disobedience.

What is even more strange is that everyone on the street, regardless of gender, age or status, would frequently look at this girl, but everyone subconsciously ignored her twitching ears and wagging tail, and were more obsessed with her appearance that was almost a disaster for the country and the people.

When reading history books, people always look down on those kings who abandoned their country for beauty. But when such a beauty really appears in front of them, everyone will sigh, “Isn’t it natural to abandon your country for such a beauty?”

It’s not surprising that such a beauty would attract attention on the street, so many people (both men and women) volunteered to approach her and have a kiss. But once their eyes met her golden eyes, all the people who approached would quietly retreat, as if nothing had happened.

The woman seemed to be looking for something. From time to time, she took out a small piece of paper and looked around at the contents on it. Finally, when she saw the illuminated sign of [Camelot], her ears stood up and she made a “meow” sound.

She carefully compared the words on the Camelot sign with the note in her hand, gesturing with her hands and muttering to herself, “Half a circle, a protruding circle, two arches, a large half circle with a horizontal line in the middle, a vertical groove, a circle with a horizontal line and a hook.” Then she put the note under the street light and read it carefully, “Half a circle, a protruding circle, two arches, a large half circle…ah, this is it, this is the place that the white-haired guy said. Xiaoyu, I finally found it!”

The woman tore up the paper in her hand and threw it away, then she sang and skipped into [Camelot]: “Today is such a good day, everything I wish for can come true. My husband, Xiaoyu, I’m here to marry you!~”
